Instant Perling?

[jaywings19]

I just planted my 72G bowfront tank tonight. I believe that I'm witness to perling within an hour of turning on the lights and CO2.

(sorry for the blurry pictures)

Take a look at the leaves of the Water Sprite:

Look along the edges of the Java Fern leaves:

Here is the entire tank:

The ones on the java ferns sort of just looks like oxygen bubbles.

Hard to tell from the pics- but I love seeing plants pearl and know the excitement give them a bit more time and then see them really pearl alot. Looks a nice discus in there as well.

Without wishing to dampen your spirits, did you do a water change at the same time? That will often create bubbles on the plants. Its called 'false pearling' but I could be wrong hope I am.

Yes, I did a partial water change.

Ahh well... I could swear those bubbles weren't there after the water change, but only an hour later they started forming. Anyway, I'll check them again tonight to see if there is any action.
